Pristine Coral Reefs
Spectacular views of the intricate reef patterns and turquoise lagoons along both the Saudi and Sudanese coastlines.
Desert Islets
Small, uninhabited sandy islands scattered across the Red Sea that appear as golden dots in the deep blue water.
Red Sea Hills
The dramatic, arid mountain ranges of eastern Sudan come into view as the aircraft approaches the African continent.
Coastal Lagoons
Natural tidal inlets and shallow bays that showcase a stunning palette of blue and green hues near Port Sudan.
